The president of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, has contradicted Donald Trump in his campaign to promote a Impeachment against the federal judge of Washington who ordered deportation flights to stop with more than 200 Venezuelans to the prisons of El Salvador. While it is still investigated whether the White House deliberately ignored the judge’s resolution, this morning the US President has asked Congress to initiate a process to dismiss the magistrate. In a statement published shortly after, the president of the Supreme has indicated that this is not the solution.
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that the Impeachment It is not an appropriate response to the disagreement of a judicial decision, ”Roberts said in a statement issued by the court.“ The normal appeal revision process exists for that purpose. ”Roberts is part of the conservative majority of the Supreme, although it is moderate profile. It was appointed for the position by former president George W. Bush.
The US President had requested on Tuesday morning the dismissal of federal judge James Boasberg, who issued the court order to stop the deportation of Venezuelans under the Law of Foreign Enemies. In a post in Truth Social, Trump attacked Boasberg, calling him “left -wing radical lunatic.”
For the first time, Trump seconded the requests of Elon Musk and his vice president, JD Vance, to dismiss the judges who have blocked the government’s actions, and asked the Congress to initiate a process of Impeachment against Boasberg.
The weekend, the White House challenged the judiciary deporting the more than 200 Venezuelans to the prisons of El Salvador, despite the judicial resolution. The official argument was that the flight had already taken off before the judge issued the order. Although Trump’s government insists that the deportation flight took off just before the judge issued the order in writing, the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, hinted yesterday that the verbal order had been ignored. Boasberg had given until noon today to be certified in writing that no person had been deported once the judicial guideline had entered into force.
Boasberg convened a hearing on Monday to determine why his order had apparently been ignored by the White House. The Department of Justice argued that “a verbal order is not executed as a court order [escrita]”The government lawyer, Abhishek Kambli, refused to answer any detailed question about deportation flights and defended that Trump had extensive authority to expel immigrants with little or no legal process, in accordance with the law of foreign enemies. vigor.
Beyond the lack of collaboration, before the hearing began, the Department of Justice tried to cancel it and, in an even more extreme movement, asked the Federal Court of Appeals to supervise the judge to remove Boasberg from the case.
